Mary or Minnie Wind or Winn b Aug 1865 New York
« on: Thursday 15 June 17 15:54 BST (UK) »
The above was the daughter of Anthony Wind or Winn and Mary Donnelly, she married Levi Slipper 5 May 1886 Panshill, Middlesex, Ontario, he was from Belgium and a barber, he passed before 1900 as Minnie is shown on the 1900 US census as a widow living with in laws and son Fred Winn Slipper b 10 Feb 1887 Forest, Ontario, at 371, North Clark Street, Chicago Ward 24, Cook, Illinois.
After that Minnie or Mary disappears and I can find no dod for Levi either.
Fred married Phyllis Mary O Driscoll who was b c. 1892 Mobile, Newfoundland, 31 Dec 1912 at York, Ontario. They had 2 daughters Mary Winn Slipper 16 Sep 1914 Chicago and Betty bc1924 Ontario, as mother and 2 daughters shown travelling from Newfoundland to Quebec 19 Oct 1932.
Fred wasn't with them. Wonder if there were any more children between 1914 and 1924?
However I can find no records of that family nor whether Minnie married again or when she passed. Looks like they were all wandering between Canada and USA?
Help please

The 1932 passenger list said that Phyllis and her daughters were going to join Fred in Toronto.

Fred Winn Slipper's WWI draft registration card from 5 Jun. 1917 said that his dependents were his wife and one child 3 years.  https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K6J4-XQ1

On www.fultonhistory.com, if you do a search for "Minnie Slipper" (in quotation marks), there are some articles from the Chicago Tribune from 1906 about Minnie being sued by a collection agency for a small bill.  One of the articles references her son Fred Slipper being summonsed. 

Also on that site, if you do a Boolean search for Levi w/2 slipper and Chicago, Levi is in the Chicago Tribune, 17 Feb. 1900.  In a list of burial permits issued by the Health Department, it says "Slipper, Levi, 37, 371 N. Clark st., Feb. 14". 

Levi comes up on the Illinois death index too - http://www.ilsos.gov/isavital/deathsrch.jsp

He is mistranscribed as Slippen here - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2MZ-ZTD5

I wonder if this marriage is Mary/Minnie - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N7HG-W41

This 1913 passenger list has Mary in Toronto - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K8MX-26Z

And the 1920 census fits with her being born in New York - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MJWK-G5D

I think this is the marriage for Mary's potential stepdaughter Francis from the 1920 census - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:27DV-CMC  The certificate has George Wm. Vaux in Toronto, so maybe Mary/Minnie was there as well.

This looks like Frances in the 1930 census - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X44L-H58
